on the FL panhandle where I went to HS, we didn't have covers. Each
afternoon it would cloud up, rain for a couple of minutes, and clear
up again. Our crowd was pretty much drip dry... : )

| Turning a phrase like that will only get you more ridicule.
| -Rich

Uhhh... that's an OLD OLD phrase. Used by folks clear across the country.
Like
"colder than a witche's tit"
"blacker than a coalie's ass"
"stiff as a preacher's dick in a calf's ass" (thank hubs for that one)
"happy as a kid with a new tin peter"

and so on.

Here in Tennessee, it's:
"If you don't like the weather, wait an hour and it will change"

and it will.

I will get a refresher when I attend my HS reunion. I have not been
back since I left in 1965, and I am told I won't be able to find my
way around.

One that I heard recently that made me chuckle is from the same vein as
"Does a bear **** in the woods?". It goes "Does Raggedy Ann have cotton
titties?".
